I thought that I could make Yun Qingxuan keep his distance from Shen Qingtang, or even just feel a little disgust towards her.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only didn't care at all, but also showed great affection for Pei Nian'an.
He even wanted to take them as his apprentices.
This unexpected outcome, like a dull knife, repeatedly cut at her jealousy.
Her gaze darkened, her once alluring eyes now filled with resentment and bitterness as she stared intently at Yun Qingxuan's retreating figure.
Her fingertips almost dug into her palms. Why? Why did Shen Qingtang have everything go her way?
She has a loving husband and a capable son.
Even such a refined and otherworldly man now treats them, mother and son, differently, but what about himself?
He tried hard to please others but was met with indifference; he tried to do something underhanded but failed repeatedly.
They can't even handle a child.
A surge of resentment and bitterness welled up in her heart, making her expression increasingly distorted.
Her face, which was originally quite beautiful,
At this moment, he looked somewhat ferocious due to jealousy. When he looked in the direction of Shen Qingtang's shop, his eyes were filled with venom, as if he wanted to burn all the prosperity and liveliness to ashes.
While Liang Wanwan gritted her teeth inwardly, the Yu Jingyuan and Yu Jingyuan brothers had not given up.
The two were rebuffed by Shen Qingtang and were so angry that they almost vomited blood. After returning home, they became more and more resentful.
They felt that Shen Qingtang was just a merchant's daughter, and even if she had some skills, she shouldn't be so arrogant, let alone hinder their plan to win over Pei Wuwang and climb the social ladder.
So, after a short rest, the two, along with a few attendants, once again headed menacingly towards the Shen family compound, determined to teach Shen Qingtang a lesson.
"Shen Qingtang! Come out here!" Yu Jingyuan shouted as soon as he reached the door.
Her tone remained arrogant, "You lowly merchant's daughter, clinging to my nephew, you have no shame! My nephew is of royal blood, you are not worthy of him at all. If you know what's good for you, leave now and don't ruin his wonderful marriage with Princess Anle!"
Yu Jingyuan echoed, his voice sharp: "That's right! If you know what's good for you, you can still keep your little bit of property. But if you insist on making trouble, don't blame us for being impolite! How can you trample on the dignity of the royal family like this? Not only will you suffer, but your shops and your family will also be in trouble!"
The two spoke in unison, their words sharp and sarcastic, attracting a crowd of onlookers who wanted to put pressure on Shen Qingtang and embarrass her.
What they didn't know was that Shen Qingtang had already used the spies Pei Wuwang had planted.
Having learned of their plan, and even the upcoming arrival of Liang Wanwan's brothers, Shen Qingtang knew that the two brothers would not give up until they achieved their goal, and also anticipated that Liang Wanwan's brothers might turn against her because of Liang Wanwan's instigation, so she had already made arrangements in advance.
The Shen family compound appears peaceful on the surface, but in reality, it is fraught with hidden dangers.
Pei Wuwang's guards, disguised as shop assistants and passersby, lay in wait all around, ready to act at a single command.
Shen Qingtang also had many traps and mechanisms set up around the courtyard, all of which were inconspicuous but extremely powerful.
Even the shopkeepers and clerks of several shops on the street were people secretly trained by Pei Wuwang, ready to provide support at any time.
What Shen Qingtang needs to do is not only to repel these troublemakers, but also to eliminate future problems once and for all.
Let everyone know that Shen Qingtang and her businesses are not to be trifled with.
Just as the Yu Jingyuan brothers were shouting and yelling at the door.
